Using a technique called neutral atom imaging from a satellite high above the North Pole, researchers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory are developing pictures of the magnetosphere, an invisible magnetic layer around the Earth. These pictures will be essential to a better understanding of the "weather" in space.
